Superb from start to finish - Madusha gave us an unforgettable experience in a private Jeep Safari. He arrived at our hotel to pick us up and was so kind to stop off and buy us some water on the way to the safari. He has great knowledge about the safari park and the wildlife within it. We saw lot as of elephants in groups and single male elephants and also saw several baby elephants too. The views along the way are breathtaking. We were so impressed with his wildlife spotting skills, we would have passed so much without knowing it was there. On the way back my partner needed a razor for shaving and again he offered to stop at the shop so we could pick up some stuff for shaving. All round wonderful experience and Madusha is a very kind and wholesome person. Thank you 🙏

Fantastic Safari - With Madusha we had a beautiful Safari at EcoPark Hurulu.
He is a very prepared, nice and helpful person.
We saw many elephants also very close to the jeep, but we also managed to see other animals: peacocks, snake eagle and a small reptile.
Absolutely recommended!!

Afternoon Jeep Safari in Minneriya Park - The afternoon jeep safari at Minneriya Park in Sri Lanka was an amazing experience! We have seen numerous elephants in different situations, from grazing to swimming in the lake. Our Guide was outstanding, offering detailed explanations of the park's flora and fauna as he led us through breathtaking scenery. The jeep was comfortable, adding an adventurous touch to the trip. An unforgettable adventure!

Awesome experience!! - It was really wonderful!
Madusha was totally patient, very friendly and told us a lot of interesting facts about the elephants and drove very carefully (as we were traveling with our 11-month-old daughter)
An absolute recommendation.

Perfect guide and a lot of elephants - He was such a great guide. Nice and gentle, he helped us to see the animals that we were not able to spot alone and he gave us explanations about the wild animals’ life. I highly recommend him. Fantastic!!

Excellent service and a great adventure - Madusha is an excellent guide. He collected us on time and was very helpful and friendly.
We saw so many elephants and Madusha stopped at each one waiting patiently for us to have a good look at them and their behaviour and take plenty of photographs. He gave us a lot of information on elephant behaviour and general facts. As well as other birds and reptiles along the way.
The jeep ride was gentle as he took the dips and rises on the tracks slowly and carefully. We never felt like we were in a rush and the whole adventure was fantastic. I highly recommend.
